(アンテナ装置1)

The antenna device 1 may be, for example, an antenna device provided in a communication terminal device such as a mobile phone terminal, a personal digital assistant, a smart phone, a tablet terminal, a mobile PC terminal, but is not limited to these.

(アンテナ基板2)
アンテナ基板2は、アンテナ部21と、熱源22とを有する。アンテナ部21は、複数のアンテナ(放射素子)を備える。放射素子の種類、形状等は特に限定されず、公知の放射素子を適宜用いることができる。また、アンテナ部21は、放射素子に給電を行う給電部を備えていてもよい。熱源22はアンテナ基板2の少なくとも片面に備えられる。図1においては、アンテナ部21の下面と放熱部材3の上面との間に熱源22が備えられる。図1のアンテナ部21および熱源22はそれぞれ直方体形状である。熱源22の例として、集積回路(IC)が挙げられる。
(Antenna board 2)

Further, the antenna section 21 may include a feeding section that feeds power to the radiating element. A heat source 22 is provided on at least one side of the antenna substrate 2 . In FIG. 1 , a heat source 22 is provided between the lower surface of the antenna section 21 and the upper surface of the heat dissipation member 3 . The antenna section 21 and the heat source 22 in FIG. 1 are each rectangular parallelepiped. Examples of heat sources 22 include integrated circuits (ICs).

(放熱部材3)
放熱部材3は、熱源22において生じた熱を放熱する。図1においては、熱源22の下面全体が、放熱部材3の上面と接触しているが、熱源22の一部と放熱部材3が接触していればよい。放熱部材3の例として、金属から構成される金属部材等が挙げられる。放熱部材3の表面は平坦面であっても、平坦面でなくてもよい。
(Heat dissipation member 3)
The heat radiating member 3 radiates heat generated in the heat source 22 . Although the entire lower surface of the heat source 22 is in contact with the upper surface of the heat radiating member 3 in FIG. Examples of the heat dissipation member 3 include metal members made of metal. The surface of the heat radiating member 3 may or may not be flat.

また、アンテナ基板2と放熱部材3との接触面から当該接触面の法線方向の所定の距離未満においては、アンテナ基板2と平行な断面積がアンテナ基板2との接触面の面積以下である。 Further, the cross-sectional area parallel to the antenna substrate 2 is less than or equal to the area of the contact surface with the antenna substrate 2 within a predetermined distance from the contact surface between the antenna substrate 2 and the heat radiating member 3 in the normal direction of the contact surface. .

本明細書において、接触面の法線方向とは、図1の(a)におけるZ軸下方向である。また、アンテナ基板2と平行な断面積とは、図1の(a)におけるZ方向から見たときの後述する放熱部材部分31或いは放熱部材部分32の面積である。 In this specification, the normal direction of the contact surface is the Z-axis downward direction in FIG. 1(a). Further, the cross-sectional area parallel to the antenna substrate 2 is the area of a heat radiation member portion 31 or a heat radiation member portion 32, which will be described later, when viewed from the Z direction in FIG. 1(a).

図1に示すように、放熱部材3は、放熱部材部分31と放熱部材部分32が一体となって構成されている。図1のアンテナ装置1の放熱部材3は、上段の放熱部材部分31と下段の放熱部材部分32から成る2段構造であるが、3段以上の複数段構造であってもよい。 As shown in FIG. 1, the heat radiating member 3 is configured by integrating a heat radiating member portion 31 and a heat radiating member portion 32 . The heat radiating member 3 of the antenna device 1 in FIG. 1 has a two-stage structure consisting of an upper heat radiating member portion 31 and a lower heat radiating member portion 32, but may have a multi-stage structure of three or more stages.

図1において、放熱部材部分31において、アンテナ基板2と平行な断面積は、アンテナ基板2との接触面の面積と同じである。また、図1の(b)に示すように、放熱部材部分31は、アンテナ基板2との接触面の法線方向長さZを有する。アンテナ基板2と放熱部材3との接触面から、当該接触面の法線方向の所定の距離とは、Zである。Zは、周波数の共振抑制、アンテナ装置の薄型化等の点で、後述する実施例に示すように1/6波長~1/3波長が好ましく、特に1/4波長程度が好ましい。 In FIG. 1 , the cross-sectional area parallel to the antenna substrate 2 in the heat dissipation member portion 31 is the same as the area of the contact surface with the antenna substrate 2 . Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1(b), the heat dissipation member portion 31 has a length Z1 in the normal direction of the contact surface with the antenna substrate 2. As shown in FIG. The predetermined distance from the contact surface between the antenna substrate 2 and the heat radiating member 3 in the direction normal to the contact surface is Z1. Z1 is preferably 1/6 wavelength to 1/3 wavelength, particularly preferably about 1/4 wavelength, as shown in Examples to be described later, from the viewpoints of suppressing frequency resonance, thinning the antenna device, and the like.

また、アンテナ基板2との接触面から当該接触面の法線方向の所定の距離以上の少なくとも一部においては、アンテナ基板2と平行な断面積が接触面の面積よりも大きい。 Moreover, in at least a part of the contact surface with the antenna substrate 2 that is at least a predetermined distance in the normal direction of the contact surface, the cross-sectional area parallel to the antenna substrate 2 is larger than the area of the contact surface.

図1において、放熱部材部分32は、アンテナ基板2と平行な断面積が、アンテナ基板2と放熱部材部分31との接触面の面積よりも大きい。 In FIG. 1 , the heat radiating member portion 32 has a cross-sectional area parallel to the antenna substrate 2 larger than the area of the contact surface between the antenna substrate 2 and the heat radiating member portion 31 .

放熱部材3により、熱源22において生じた熱を放熱することができる。また、放熱部材3が段差を備え(上段の放熱部材部分31と下段の放熱部材部分32を備える)、放熱部材部分31の断面積が所定の面積であることにより、不要放射による利得低下等のアンテナ性能の劣化を抑制することができる。特に、放熱部材3がアンテナ基板2よりも大きいときに、上記構成により、アンテナ基板2のグランド(GND)面から流れる電流の発生による、不要放射による利得低下を抑制することができる。 Heat generated in the heat source 22 can be dissipated by the heat dissipating member 3 . Further, since the heat radiation member 3 has a stepped portion (having an upper heat radiation member portion 31 and a lower heat radiation member portion 32), and the cross-sectional area of the heat radiation member portion 31 is a predetermined area, there is no reduction in gain due to unnecessary radiation. Degradation of antenna performance can be suppressed. In particular, when the heat dissipation member 3 is larger than the antenna substrate 2 , the above configuration can suppress gain reduction due to unnecessary radiation caused by current flowing from the ground (GND) surface of the antenna substrate 2 .

また、無線通信端末は、アンテナ装置1を備えることによって、放熱性が向上し、不要放射による利得低下等のアンテナ性能の劣化が抑制される。 In addition, since the wireless communication terminal is provided with the antenna device 1, heat dissipation is improved, and degradation of antenna performance such as reduction in gain due to unnecessary radiation is suppressed.
